Killzone 3 (February 22)
PlayStation 3
Well-known for immersing players in a realistic, gritty war taking place on a foreign planet between humans and their distant comrades, the Killzone franchise is set to redefine the first-person shooter with Killzone 3. Following the same character as its predecessor, the campaign features overarching themes of fascism and violence as well as fast-paced vehicle portions that break up hectic gunfights. Though it might be able to stand with only its multiplayer, Killzone 3’s multiplayer is one of the best in the industry, even offering a mode that literally puts players inside of cutscenes, giving an innovative narrative to the anonymous, detached online shooter experience.
